You can still see the store in its OPEN state at Google Maps.

That's a wonderful idea especially in these times when many cities are hurting for revenue and adding new buildings are not a priority. I would add "especially library buildings" but perhaps too cynical!
I never visited Cornish while living in NH but can imagine that area of NH is very beautiful. I have driven Highway 89 to Dartmouth and that is a beautiful area.

Beautiful and remote. Google Maps can take you across the coveted bridge from Cornish to Windsor, Vermont, then to the Windsor Diner and the post office, where Salinger picked up his mail.
